The line graph illustrates the proportion of products distributed in the United
Kingdom with four different transportation ways, which are road, water, rail and
pipeline, from 1974 to 2002.

Looking from an overall perspective, it is apparent that over the


25-year-period road was the most prevalent way utilized to transport goods,
whereas pipeline witnessed the lowest figures among all the four ways.

Regarding road ways, in 1974, there was a significant growth in the quantity of
transportation at 70 million tonnes of wares that went up over time to become
over 95 million tonnes in 2000. On the other hand, pipeline at the beginning of
the period was under 10 million tonnes which gradually increased to 20 million
tonnes with the stability in 5 years from 1995 to 2000, but pipeline still showed
the trough in the number of products compared to other ways.

Concerning railway and waterway, the figures started in 1997 with the
equivalent quantity of goods which is 40 million tonnes. This followed by the
decline in the proportion of commodities over the next decade to become
almost 35 million tonnes, showing a fluctuation over the last 10 years to end in
2000 with the equal amount of the starting year. On the contrary, the waterway
witnessed an upward trend with a stability of almost 45 million tonnes of goods
transported from 1982 to 1998, a rapid growth in the amount of transportation
from 1999 to 2000 to become almost 62 million tonnes.
